Anybody knows who can machine 2-bolt style bar risers?

LeFrog · Jan 16, 2006

I am looking for someone to make a custom bar riser for my 2001.

I am looking for someone who can make a very simple part made of steel, less than 8-inch long, with holes for the bolt on each side, and about 20mm thick.

Some machining involved, not much!

These are the type of bar clamps:

Can't find the right riser anywhere.

Thanks for the help!

LeFrog,
I've been using these homemade bar risers for four years with no problems. I'm sure you could do the same with 7/8" (22mm) thick aluminum. They don't need to be round either. Don't forget you'll need longer bolts!

I/2" (14mm) bar risers

Froggie,

Rocky Mountain sells spacers. Ktm sells spacers and taller mounts (hard parts), and I have seen various bike dealers with them on their shelves. You should be able to get what you want or need "off the shelf' as opposed to a custom maching job.

They cost over $50. I already bought the KTM spacers, they don't fit.

Taffy got his done and they look awesome. I want some like that

Nic, I'll make you a set like Taffy's for free and yes, out of aluminum!
How tall do you want them?

Well, "beastie" of course...

Really, I will let you know what height I need

You need to let me pay for the shipping, at least!

That's nice of you, I'll owe you a beer.

Well, Logjump is a man of his word!

Barely 3 business days after his nice proposal, I received not one, but two sets of risers made by Mr Log himself!

Follow this link for the install procedure.

Look Ma, short link!!!

Below are the said risers:
